I did read your comments hence the term HYPERBOLE.
How often do you see people saying ‘punch nazis’ around here? How often does it actually happen? Not as much as it should, but here you are saying ‘Oh my gosh this behavior is going to lead to a chain reaction of events that harms MARGINALIZED and DISABLED PEOPLE and there is NO OTHER way that this will play out. These glasses are INDISTINGUISHABLE from regular glasses, and if you punch them it will INEVITABLY lead to BLIND PEOPLE BEING ABUSED!’
Hyperbole: figure of speech that uses deliberate, extreme exaggeration to emphasize a point, evoke strong emotions, or add humor - not meant to be taken seriously.
I do not take this line of reasoning seriously, because it isn’t. It is very obvious when these cameras are pointed at you, and truth be told — I don’t think a blind person gets a pass for being a pair of cameras gathering data on whatever they happen to be looking at. In fact I would advise blind people stay away from these glasses, but who knows — maybe blind people are particularly selfish and don’t give a shit about contributing to a less safe world.
I, for one, wasn’t thinking I’d punch them and smash their glasses. I was thinking I’d just shoot paintballs at their face. So you can go ahead and determine whether being punched in the face or have glass shattered into your eye by a paintball is worse.

Ok fair, I’ve heard Unity has become sort of a pain in the ass to work with. I just couldn’t believe anyone could dislike Subnatica lol.

angry mobs to beat up innocents
Great, you’ve completely made up a circumstance in your head.
It takes one person to smash a pair of these glasses, not an angry mob. Nobody but you said anything about an angry mob, the circumstances are punch + smash the glasses into the ground.
It’s always fucking hyperbole with people like you, meanwhile these fucking idiots are getting a free pass to fill the world with cameras. Kindly, fuck off.

You’re both running interference for the creation of a surveillance state that will absolutely seek to kill oulr imprison both of you.
Fucking stupid ‘you’re ackshually the same as a bigot’ logic. Genuinely fucking braindead

The engine or the games made therein?
Cuz if you dislike Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dead Cells, Subnautica, Valheim, Rust, Hearthstone, Slay the Spire, Cities: Skylines, Among Us, Fall Guys, Overcooked… then I’d say your taste in games is next to shit.

The third season will always make me sad. I get that John Logan felt like the story had reached its natural conclusion but I disagree.

Sexagesimal, hexadecimal is base 16. You could say that simply improving on mathematics lead to the hexadecimal system eventually but they did not create the hexadecimal system.

If you ‘know better’ then what’s stopping you from recognizing that not everyone is cut from the same cloth?
A black person raised to believe in the Nation of Islam might be more supportive of black rights — does that make what they believe right? No, the NoI is a cult that believes white people were born in a lab 7000 years ago (amongst other crazy bullshit). MAGA is also a cult. You should read up on what defines cults and what kind of people are susceptible to them.
I’m not exactly making excuses for them, I hate MAGA. Nuance here, however, is very important.

Chocolate, coffee, dog food, hot pockets — yes I’m aware of the many things Nestle owns. None of this makes your point more legitimate, these are video games we’re talking about. Food ≠ luxury item.

I don’t think LSD has the capacity to change someone that doesn’t already want to change.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 2 weeks ago:
Except your point is entirely irrelevant when faced with the reality that video games, especially AAA video games, are a luxury item.
There’s a major difference between avoiding cheap chocolate and avoiding video game companies. I can’t believe that I’m even having to dictate this.

You’re talking about food. Everyone else is talking about video games here.

It wasn’t always this way, though — general education standards have been severely eroded. There was a point in time where you could trust that a civil engineer would have the general knowledge required to understand what they don’t know — thus leaving the decision to better educated minds.
There are so many things wrong about how we teach each other in the U.S., and wrong with how we perceive being taught. So many people believe that unwarranted advice is the worst fucking crime imaginable, or that correcting someone’s spelling/grammar is a shitty thing to do. So many people are so innately positioned against learning that it’s no fucking wonder why your anesthesiologist has 0 fucking clue what the nation should do regarding immigration. Totally ignorant of the fact that they should absolutely be intelligent enough to come to the correct answers, or at the very least listen to those who come backed with facts.
I have no idea what should I can do about it beyond being a grammar nazi. /endrant
